Spring Time!

Living in Memphis we have some crazy weather and it can be 70 degrees one day and 30 the next but lately we have had a couple weeks of warm weather and oh how I love the crisp spring air in the morning! It smells so fresh and clean! It reminds me of the verse in Psalms. Psalm 30:5b "Weeping may last the night, but joy comes in the morning." For me, I struggle with winter time depression and just feeling sad with all the gloomy days and I try lots of things to cheer me up, but my joy only comes when I find new joy in my Creator! Just like those first days of spring! It's bright and new and fresh and it comes right when it is suppose to!
I hope this brightened your day a little and you find new joy in your Creator today!

"How are you?"

This afternoon a man came to the door selling a newspaper and he said "Hi! How are you?" And, I guess, out of habit I said "I'm good! How are you?" And he said, I am great. Thank you for asking. Most people don't ask me that!"
I got my dad and I went back to what I was doing, but it got me thinking...What a shame! No one cares enough anymore to even ask a simple "How are you?". How would this world be different if we asked people how they were doing and not just asked them how there are but really mean it?
So, I know that this a short post but my challenge to whoever reads this is to be more conscious about what you say....and don't say. You can make someone's day just by asking "How are you?".
